Christian Longo may face death
By Hugh McDiarmid Jr.
Knight Ridder Newspapers (KRT)
Christian Longo discarded a poten
tially life-saving trump card when he
agreed to return to the United States
from Mexico without a fight.
Instead, he faces the possibility of
execution by lethal injection in Ore
gon, where he had his first court pro
ceeding Wednesday in the deaths of
his wife and three children.
Longo asked for a court-appoint
ed attorney during the proceeding,
where he spoke via video link
from the jail in Lincoln County.
He is being held in lieu of a $2.5
million bond.
Prosecutors will present evi
dence to a grand jury sometime next
week. That panel will determine if
Longo will stand trial on charges he
killed his wife, Maryjane Longo, 34,
and children Zachary, 4, Sadie, 3,
and Madison, 2. Their bodies were
recovered from Pacific Ocean inlets
last month.
Longo's attorney, Kenneth
Hadley, said he anticipates Longo
will plead not guilty at his next
court appearance Jan. 23.
District Attorney Bernice Barnett
will not say whether she will seek
the death penalty for Longo, who
lived in Ypsilanti until falling into
debt and moving to Toledo and then
Oregon last year. If convicted of the
slayings, he could be the state's 26th
inmate waiting execution.
“As an elected official, there has
to be a lot of pressure to do that,”
said Mike Ford, a Eugene, Ore., de
fense attorney who has handled six
death penalty defenses.
Longo would still be in Mexico
had he decided to fight extradition
rather than voluntarily return with
FBI agents who tracked him down
in the resort town of Tulum on Sun
day. The extradition process could
have taken months or even years.
What's more, Mexican officials
might have refused to return him if
it was clear that Longo would face
the death penalty.
“Mexico does not extradite if the
penalty they will face is the death
penalty,” said Miguel Monterrubio,
press secretary with the Mexican
Embassy in Washington D.C. “Our
constitution forbids it. ”
Oregon attorney Kevin Hunt said
Longo's lawyers may still be able to
argue that his voluntary return to
the United States was coerced or il
legal if it can be proved he was nev
er informed of his right to contact
the U.S. Consulate in Mexico.
The prospect of a high-profile
Oregon murder trial will add fuel to
the debate over repealing the state's
death penalty law — a measure
which is expected to land on No
vember's ballot.
“The timing of this case is going
to have to be dealt with by propo
nents of the initiative,” Hunt said.
“It's bad timing for them. ”

News briefs
Students meet ASUO senators
An estimated 25 students and
senators mingled at a “Meet the
Senators” function Wednesday
night hosted by the ASUO Student
Senate. The function allowed stu
dents interested in running for sen
ate a chance to meet current mem
bers and learn about the student
political system at the University.
“I came tonight because I was in
terested in joining the senate. I was
not really involved in government
during high school, and I thought
this would give me a chance to ex
press my opinion and have a voice,”
freshman Persis Pohowalla said.
Sophomore Megan Hughes said
she came because, “I believe that it
is important to know what the sen
ate is doing because they control
student funding issues.”
Following the function, the sen
ate conducted their weekly meeting
and unanimously appointed Re
becca Lynn Reynolds to an empty
senate seat. Senate President Peter
Watts said Reynolds will be an as
set to the senate because she deeply
cares about people and has been ac
tive in many student groups.
“I have had a lot of experience
working on committees with peo
ple, and I really look forward to
working with the senate in these
conferences,” Reynolds said.
In other business, the senate ap
proved a request to transfer $113
from surplus funds to the Interna
tional Student Association to help
pay for a phone line cancellation.
ISA received a double line from the
phone company, and after cancel
ing one line, it was still required to
pay for the line.
In addition, the ASUO Executive
decided to co-sponsor a guest
speaker for a new student group
just recognized by the University as
an organization in fall 2001. The
group allows students to explore
functional linguistics and phrenol
ogy, which is the study of analyzing
character. The group could not re
ceive the requested $300 in student
government funding until next year
because they organized after the
distribution of funds for this aca
demic year.

direct relation with Pakistan,” he
said. “Pakistan and India are one
culture, one language — and for
the new generation, the conflict
concerning Kashmir is becoming
trivial. Personally, I feel we all
get along.”
Tyagi compared the Dec. 13 at
tack in India to the Sept. 11 attacks
in the United States.
“It does not matter if thousands
of people are killed from a terrorist
attack or just one. It was still a ter
rorist attack, and it demonstrates
that every country has terrorists,”
Tyagisaid.
Sophomore Gibran Azamali
said that he, too, believes Pakistan
and India will not go to war, and
he does not see a problem with the
Bush administration’s peace ef
forts. He said a mediator between
Pakistan and India would help the
countries resolve the conflict more
quickly. However, Azamali said
dividing Kashmir’s land between
the two countries would not be a
viable option.
“I think that the only solution is if
neither India nor Pakistan get Kash
mir,” Azamali said. ‘‘Both countries
have origins there, and no one
could say that Kashmir should be
long to one country over the other. ”
Senior Haseena Vaswani said
the conflict between Pakistan and
India is at the political level and
is not a part of an average Pakista
nis’ or Indian’s daily life. Tyagi
and Azamali agreed and said the

average citizens in Pakistan and
India have good relations with
one another.
“It is something they see on the
news, but nothing that affects them
in their daily lives,” Azamali said.
Azamali traveled to Pakistan
during winter break to visit fami
ly, while Vaswani visited India.
Both said life was normal in their
countries.
“I went to Delhi; nothing to me
seemed to be changed from any of
the other times I had visited,”
Vaswani said. “My flight was
delayed because of the attack,
but other than that things were
like usual.”
Tyagi said he believes that the
union of Pakistanis and Indians in
one organization, SISrat the Uni
versity is just one example that ca
maraderie does exist between the
two countries. SIS began at the Uni
versity in 1999 to promote cultural,
economic and social awareness
about the countries in the Indian
Subcontinent.
“We work together. Culturally we
all have the same root. The coun
tries are different, but it does not
stop us from getting along with
each other,” Tyagi said.
